Lions Rising
The Never-Trumpers are crying this morning.
Israel’s exploding-pagers attack on Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah last September was like something out of a movie. No doubt one day, a movie will be made about it.
Just as a reminder: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/10/05/israel-mossad-hezbollah-pagers-nasrallah/
That audacious attack was part of Israel's ongoing fightback against the proxies of the Iranian regime, which threaten it from all sides.
We have watched as the tentacles of the monster have been amputated one by one, and at 3am our time this morning, America drew it's poison.
It has been 47 years of suffering for the Persian people, especially their women.

5 Million Iranians live in exile, forced out of their country by the Muslim Brotherhood revolution in 1979.
One of them is Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last Shah, who wants to lead an interim government, pending democratic elections, in a free Iran.
Not for nothing did Israel name its war on Iran's military infrastructure “Rising Lion”. This is the Royal flag of Iran.
For all the Never-Trumpers crying into your cornflakes this morning: it's strange how you didn't bat an eye, when Trump cheerfully sent American pilots to bomb a nest of terrorists in Somalia, back in February.
Oh yes, because Somalians are not “JOOS”, as you cowards and children call them online. Trying to hide your anti-semitism behind infantile bot comments.
Where are all the “TACO” bots this morning? Crying in their Mummy's basements - or on BlueCRY! (As BlueSky was quickly renamed)!
As for the rent-a-mob useful idiots of Iran who march in our cities every weekend, chanting slogans they don't understand: oh dear, which flag will you fly now?
Palestine, Mexico, Tranz, Iran? - better take one of each with you to make sure!
But ask yourselves, if you have any working brain cells left: where exactly is that “3 Million Muslim Army" that you said was going to march on Israel after October 7th 2023?
Why is it that Israel’s neighbours and former enemies, Egypt and Jordan, don't just fortify their borders against the Gazans; but actively shoot down the Iranian bombs and drones passing through their airspace?
Israel, with America’s support, is doing the Arab League's dirty work for them. Purging the Middle East of it's major barrier to peaceful co-operation. All the Sheikhs need to do is sit back and watch, then implement their own plan for re-building Gaza, as Dubai-on-The-Med.
I can't write about the Middle East as other women can, who have lived there and have family there.
The nearest I've ever been was a cruise ship down the Nile, back in the Mubarak era, under conditions of tight security. Egypt was suffering Islamic terrorism, and tourism was badly affected.

Melanie Phillips, Karen Hunt, and Eve Barlow are my go-tos here on substack. I'm only a western observer and a political cartoonist.
I have never suffered in a war, never had to run to a bomb shelter, never had to hear every day about another friend losing a family member to an overnight missile attack.
But I fervently hope that President Trump's power move, neutering Iran's nuclear capability, will pave the way for a new secular Iran, and a peaceful Middle East in my lifetime.
Here's Eve Barlow:
Great piece Stella and I second what Susan says with the addition that sadly it’s not just politicians who need to wake up. This piece is a great resource to show people with Trump derangement syndrome, not that I personally like him but that’s irrelevant.
Well said Stella. I'm not Jewish but I fully support Israel in it's fight for survival. It's actually helping to save Western Civilization as well. I just wish our Politicians etc would realise that.🏴🇬🇧🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
